Disneymoralist
noun (pejorative)
/ˌdɪz·ni·ˈmɒr·əl·ɪst/
Definition: someone who treats the world like a kids’ movie: sentimental, moral rules taken from glossy aesthetics instead of facts, reflexively outraged at messy realities (hunting, small-scale harvests, invasive-species removal, predator-prey interactions, indigenous or native tribesmen hunting) while ignoring industrial, systemic harm that actually causes worse suffering and ecological damage. Moral views are surface-level, performative and purely aesthetic with no positive effect and only short term effect, and chosen for how they look on a feed or to themselves. Usually they do this to feel morally superior to hunters, farmers, fishermen/spearfishers, indigenous hunters, or bystanders observing wildlife. Often disregarding the fact that some people and animals do not have the luxary of food being magically prepared for them at a grocery store or restaurant, or the fact that animals and people have to eat.
Disney moralists are often found complaining in the comments of videos of people hunting, removing invasive species(like lionfish and kina), native tribes hunting(like the hadza tribe), spearfishing, pest control, and farmers protecting crops and farm animals from predators.
